Thank you for the "great idea" very encouraging.
The next one will be with the premature assault. I want to demonstrate what happens in a perfect game when some one prematurely shoots off their game and why they lose because of it; And why and how others benefit from being so premature about trying to take another player out when the spoils are so low and does not justify the elimination of another player.
That one was like only 7 rounds if I remember correctly but it makes for a nice little lesson I think.
Thanks must go to Viceroy for this superb idea -I for one found it to be very enlightening and has helped no end - I also can't wait for next one.

Viceroy63 Assessment of Round 09 and 10 show
By the end of round 08, in what I affectionately call, "The Viceroy Strikes Back" round, Cyan ended up with the population bonus as well as those of South America and Africa. The benefits of these bonuses, is not so much that they give me extra troops, as they do, but also because it gives the opponent something to aim for and to try and break. Which is of course logical because if the opponent does not break those bonuses I can put those extra troops right into his back yard and wreck havoc with just a few extra troops.

Viceroy63 Assessment of Round 11 show
We come now to the final round where it can be noted that this game could have been won by Pink. Pink got a set of spoils worth 40 troops Plus 3 troops for 5 regions for a total of 43 troops. The only problem is that Cyan has a total of 49 troops on the board. It is a physical impossibility to eliminate Cyan's 49 troops with only 43 troops. But had Pink's original 11 troops in Montreal been more retro-active in this round, it would then had been a total of 54 Pink troops versus 49 Cyan's troops. Then it could have been possible.Game 10476657 viewtopic.php?f=341&t=166338

Good point about moving troops to the front lines. May have turned the game.
